Tweens invited to annual CMH Girls Night In event

Citizens Memorial Hospital (CMH) and Shannon Calvert, M.D., board-certified pediatrician with Butterfield Park Pediatrics, will host a free “girls only” event for tweens on April 18 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. in the CMH Community Rooms, located in the hospital at 1500 N. Oakland, Bolivar.

The Girls Night In “Donut Worry, Be Happy” event is open to girls ages 9 to 13 and their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, teachers, caregivers and/or mentors. Tweens will learn about growing up, puberty, manners, conversation starters, gift giving, writing thank you notes and much more.

“This is our ninth year to bring Girls Night In to our tween-agers. Over the years, we have had the opportunity to connect with more than 1,300 girls and their caregivers through this event. The ‘in between’ years of a young girl’s life are the perfect opportunity to discuss being healthy inside and out,” says Dr. Calvert. “Tween girls are impressionable and this evening provides clear and relevant information and direction for pre-teen girls and the women influential in their lives. Every year, we bring new information and presenters to the event. We want everyone in the room to feel comfortable, have fun, learn the right information from the right people and ask lots of questions.”

The free event includes fun door prizes and a light meal. Limited edition 2017 Girls Night In T-shirts are available in youth and adult sizes for $15 and $17 each. Space is limited and reservations are requested. For more information or to register visit http://conta.cc/2iflEhK or call the CMH Information Center at 417-328-6010 or 888-328-6010.
